A Women-Friendly City refers to a city that operates policies where men and women equally participate in regional policy and development processes, and the benefits are evenly distributed to all citizens while ensuring women's growth and safety. It is designated after evaluation by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

This plaque unveiling ceremony was organized to announce the re-designation of the Women-Friendly City both internally and externally and to provide an opportunity to declare the citizens' determination for a new leap forward as a Women-Friendly City. The ceremony was attended by many officials, including Park Sang-su, Mayor of Samcheok, Kwon Jeong-bok, Chairperson of the Samcheok City Council, and members of the Samcheok Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group, celebrating the re-designation plaque unveiling.
